different tuition fee on different websites :(

<p>ive been searchin for tuition fees for skuls on my list,
but then i saw that differnet websites give differnet answers for me.
like cornell university, one says it's 36000 sth the other says 31000 sth...
gah wut is a more accurate website?
i know maybe i should just go to the schools website, but then again that will take a lot more time...</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Cornell is tricky because 4 of its colleges are private and 3 are statutory. They all charge slightly different tutions. I would go to each university's website and check out their 2008-2009 tuition and cost of attendance information.</p>

<p>but they wouldn't be TOO different right?
like...for most of the schools?
cz this is just for my college list...</p>

<p>No, the difference in cost of attendance, when taking room and board, books, insurance, transportation and entertainment cost, does not fluctuate too much within the same university. There could be a difference of $5,000 or so at Cornell, but when the total cost of attendance is over $45,000 anyway, I don't think $5,000 makes too much of a difference. As a rule, most good public universities cost anywhere between $30,000-$45,000/year and most good private universities cost between $40,000 and $55,000/year. That includes room and board, flights home twice a year, books, insurance, entertainment costs etc... It does not, however, include possible financial aid and scholarships that some universities offer international students.</p>

<p>thanks so much for ur info, alexandre :)
ur info is always helpful! ;)</p>

<p>They will fluctuate more for Cornell than many other other schools because of their unusual land grant situation for various schools. Other universities that have different schools within the university such as NYU will also have different tuitions as well but usually not as different as Cornell's. </p>

<p>You have to be careful when using the internet that you are pulling up the right year. Also with state schools make sure you are getting the out of state or in state amounts. Make sure you know if the amounts you are getting are full year or semester, and that they are undergraduate amounts, not rates for graduate programs. Bear in mind that your actual bill may well be different because of your room assignment and meal plan. The amounts displayed are averages, not your specific coa which can differ, sometimes by a lot as Alexandre has shown.</p>
